Best of all, the dishes at the cafe were designed by award-winning bento artist and local food blogger Shirley Wong, who Instagrams her creations as Little Miss Bento.

Who is Gudetama?

Unlike most cartoon characters that are usually all about unbridled joy and positivity, Gudetama's name comes from the Japanese word for "no energy" — "gude". "Tama" comes from "tamago", Japanese for egg.

Drawings of Gudetama typically show him in a variety of lackadaisical poses: asleep on his egg white bed with with a bacon blanket pulled over him; draped over a bowl of rice exuding an air of indifference; or lounging in a cracked half of his shell — as one does — on a deckchair.
